As we emerge from this pandemic nightmare, a new initiative – The Leader's Journey – has been established to enable emerging and young talent around the world to access the learnings of business leaders.

The Leaders’ Journey’s aim is to create a marriage between generations that passes down knowledge, inspires the young, eliminates barriers and builds greater trust in leaders and leadership.

This initiative is not just about hospitality but is to include all sectors, reach all industries and perform on a global basis.

So far, over 120 leaders from around the world have agreed to being a mentor and sharing their stories from the worlds of business, law, accountancy, hospitality, the military, education and sport.

I was honoured to be asked to provide input into this series in an interview with Lauran Bush of EP Business in Hospitality which will become part of the initiative.

In this short conversation, you will hear about the leader who inspired me the most, the greatest learning point in my career, my greatest failure and greatest success, a couple of incidents that really influenced me as a leader and as a professional, and what advice I would have given to my 18-year-old self.

I hope you will enjoy it!
